The creative part is done! Now I need your support to make this dream come true. There's rewards for all supporters!
In this album I explore the possibilities of the voice as an instrument.
In this perspective, I grouped a set of original compositions that joined the magic of the musicians Carlos Garcia (piano), Yuri Daniel (electric bass), Bruno Pedroso (drums) and also the super special guests Maria João (vocals), Eduardo Cardinho (Vibraphone) and João Pinho Vargas (double bass).
It is an ambitious project, especially since it happens very close to my previous album, Encontro, released in May, 2016, by Sintoma Records. It's an old goal, and an accomplishment in music that is very special to me.
About Encontro:
"Sonia's voice is at the center of everything and is affirmed by its clarity and sobriety." Nuno Catarino - http://bodyspace.net/album.php?album_id=3111 , (Art and lifestyle web site)
"Beautiful, very diverse, intimate, precious in details, original, full of complicities. Five stars!"
João Almeida, Director of Antena 2, (National Radio)
"(...) high musical sophistication and sensibility, as well as a strong ability to establish intimate dialogues with different musicians and instruments. Encontro contributes to the construction of an increasingly creative and captivating panorama of jazz in Portugal. Highly recommended! "
Ricardo Pinheiro, Guitar player
